"Offering mainly shared rooms in dorms, although there are a few private rooms with private bath, a stay here is one of the cheapest in the city."
Rough Guide
"The surrounding neighbourhood may have resisted gentrification, but the hostel is clean, well-run and a 5 min walk from the subway."
Frommer's
"Wonderfully social hostel, with a friendly staff... this is not only a good pick for budgeteers, but also for solo travelers."

Every once in a while the staff has free tickets to hockey games and TV tapings, so be sure to ask.

"Guests enjoy the modern, updated rooms (including that rare type – a single), and use of a fitness club next door."
Rough Guide
"A great location for this recently revamped hotel, which occupies a downtown sky-rise, its vaguely country-house-style foyer leading to well-equipped guest rooms."
